Nasa has revealed that 2018 was the fourth hottest year in recorded human history.

It said that the temperature of Earth has risen by about one degree Celsius since the 1880s and said this trend was ‘driven in large part by increased emissions into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases caused by human activities’.

Scientists found that the Arctic has experienced the most warming, contributing to global sea level rise.

‘2018 is yet again an extremely warm year on top of a long-term global warming trend,’ said Gavin Schmidt, director of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
